I learned the Serenity Prayer in AA, and live by it, that helps.

That doesn't mean that I am a patsy and accept all the feces thrown at me.

But it enables me to slow down and think. If I get emotional, i get irrational and that interferes with rational thinking, especially critical thinking.

I am concerned, very concerned about the future, I can't save anyone other than myself, and not sure about that either, but am making plans and moves that will hopefully help me survive,

But I am not some Jew living in Berlin, who waited until the GESTAPO knocked on their door telling them to pack their bags, they were going on a trip.

I started carrying an Irish Blessing coin in my pocket. I'm not religious, but I am Irish 🍀. This is my last ditch spiritual effort to get through this. I'm not one to pray, but I think at this time, we all need something to hang on to.
